ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder. Microvesicle-derived miRNAs have been implicated in autoimmune diseases. However, the role of microvesicle-derived miR-29a-3p in MG remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of miR-29a-3p derived from stem cell microvesicles (MVs) on experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) rats.METHODS:
EAMG was induced in rats by injection of the subunit of the rat nicotinic anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) R97-116 peptide.Besides the control group, EAMG rats were randomly allocated into the EAMG model group, MV group, MV-NC-agomir group, and MV- miR-29a-3p-agomir group.RESULTS:
Our results found that BMSCs-MV promoted miR-29a-3p expression in gastrocnemius of EAMG rats. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) derived microvesicle miR-29a-3p improved the hanging ability and swimming time of EMGA rats and weakened the degree of muscle fiber atrophy. Furthermore, microvesicles from miR-29a-3p overexpressing BMSCs reduced the content of AchR-Ab in the serum of EAMG rats. BMSC-derived microvesicle miR-29a-3p further suppressed the expression of IFN-γ and enhanced the IL-4 and IL-10 in the serum of EAMG rats by restoring the Th17/Treg cells balance.DISCUSSION:
BMSCs-derived microvesicle miR-29a-3p improved the stability of rat myasthenia gravis by regulating Treg/Th17 cells. It may be an effective treatment for MG.
